In this week’s exclusive clip for Breitbart News, Jackie weighs in on arguably the biggest scandal in Hollywood history that’s unfolded in the last two weeks, the Harvey Weinstein saga… but Jackie says he’s not sure what the outrage is all about, because we’ve seen this kind of thing before.

How do you get rid of Trump? An election, not the 25th Amendment.
The Independent

It appears that just as impeachment fever had started to break around the country, a 25th Amendment bug started going around. A few weeks ago, the University of Chicago’s Eric Posner argued that the “conventional understanding” of the amendment should be “enlarged” to include instances where both parties “lose confidence in the president’s ability to govern.”

It’s true. It’s all true. The Republicans have squandered and continue to squander their house and senate majorities.

What a bunch of idiot law makers we have.

For eight years, they balked and balked about Obama’s reign and the democrat congress that passed Obamacare. And now, once the Republicans regain the house, the senate, and the presidency–they disappoint.

Why is there no leadership in congress? Why are there no uniting forces at work?

I often think that the answer is simple: there is no more Conservative party. And there is no more Republican Party. And the same for the other side. We no longer have a two-party system: we have a splintered set of six or seven different parties. All with varying degrees of whatever.

The result: no decisions can be made. No consensus reached.

They all should be ashamed of themselves. A year has nearly passed. And next to nothing has been accomplished. Keep up the arguing folks! You’re really doing a great job! Yeah!

Now consider this: how can the media swallow this horrible truth: THE PEOPLE TRUST GOVERNMENT MORE THAN THE MEDIA.

That has got to be a pretty big pill for the media to swallow. They should’ve trusted MORE than government. And yet… it ain’t so!

When I lived in China, all my friends there (native Chinese and expats) resoundingly agreed that the media cannot be trusted. Why? Because they knew and know that the media had a political agenda.

What do these polls then say about the American media? It makes it clear as glass: the American public also know that the media here also have a political agenda. And that should not be the case in a democratic republic.

In China? Okay, fine. NOT in the United States of America.

The media’s respect is declining on a daily basis.

If they don’t start reporting honestly soon, they are going to lose what little credibility they have remaining.

All I see these post-Trump-victory days are whining journalists, crying celebrities, and general malaise among the liberals in the USA. It’s coming to a head today, on the day of Trump’s inauguration.

I’m hearing calls for boycotts. Demands that the judges step in and declare the election a fraud. Heck, Rosie O’Donnell is even clamoring for martial law. And of course, the rampant screams that Trump is a fascist or Hitler continue unabated.

It all needs to stop.

POINT 1: THE RUSSIANS.

Sure, maybe it’s true that the Russians may have interfered in our election via hacking, but that doesn’t mean the election process itself was tampered with—what hurt Hillary is that the information about Hillary was damaging to her, and the people didn’t want to vote her in. It was the information that hurt Clinton; not anything Trump did. Sure, of course, if it can be proven that Trump’s team and Russia colluded, then in that case, there would be cause for concern. But there is no such proof at this point, and there probably never will be. Get over it.

POINT 2: DANGER TO OUR COUNTRY.

Hmm, this is curious. Why are liberals’ fears that Trump is going to be a danger to our nation any stronger than how all of us Republicans felt when Obama took office? I was horrified that Obama won–not one, but two terms–and yet, wow, amazing: the republic still stands. Trump is not going to destroy the nation anymore than Obama did. The republicans had to suffer for eight years, and suddenly, now that the democrats have to suffer, they are whining and crying that it’s all unfair. I didn’t call for a boycott of Obama. I didn’t declare him illegitimate. No, I accepted it. And let me tell you: to me, these last eight years have been horrible for our country, setting us back decades. If we were able to survive eight years of Obama, you’ll survive four (or more likely, eight) years of Trump. Grow up, and deal with it.

POINT 3: HOLLYWOOD TOLERANCE.

Hollywood stars think they are so important and influential. Guess what: you’re not. If you were, Hillary would have won. But she didn’t, and once and for all, the evidence is now irrefutable: no one cares what you think. Nonetheless, Hollywood movie stars are still role models to millions of young children and young adults. To that end, they have a duty to be that role model. Maybe not an all-encompassing duty, but definitely some some sort of duty. And Republican or Democrat (or communist!), they all have a duty to actually be that embodiment of tolerance that so many actively preach. Tolerance doesn’t mean you accept everyone and all behavior: there can be no tolerance for cold-blooded murder. But it does mean you learn to be civil in the face of opposing viewpoints. The sad fact is that most of these Hollywood types proclaiming “TOLERANCE!” are the most intolerant people I know, and it run from the highest echelons of show biz down to the most grungy of improv, standup, and acting schools in New York and LA. It’s for this reason that I have started The Hollywood Tolerance Project, a soon-to-be-launched 501(c)(3) not for profit that will find its home at http://www.hollywoodtolerance.org. Bottom line: if you preach tolerance, you should practice it. During the election, I lost many good friends because I was not tolerant of their views. I realize that I was just as intolerant as the movie stars and little acting schools I am calling out today. No one should ever feel they will be shunned in Hollywood due to their views, and the fact that so many musicians are scared to perform at Trump’s inauguration is two-fold concerning: it shows how cowardly these artists are, that they are allowing themselves to be bullied, and further, it shows how intolerant Hollywood actually is: if you say what we like, you have freedom of speech and can work in all productions; if you say what we don’t like, your 1st amendment freedoms are removed, and you will be blacklisted. Sounds like Hollywood is run by a really great group of wonderful people, truly welcoming all races, religions, sexes, and creedos! Wow, what a great bunch! Not. It needs to change, and I’m going to lead that charge through the Hollywood Tolerance Project.

POINT 4: WE DON’T LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY

This point seems to fall on deaf ears of many people: we live in a republic; a representative democracy. Many people seem to think that we have a democracy, and that just because Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, she should be president. Have these people ever read the Federalist Papers? There’s one about the tyranny of the majority. That is precisely what Madison and his patriots wanted to avoid. It seems counterintuitive: tyranny of the majority? How can that be? If it’s the majority, how can it be tyrannical? Answer: population distribution. We do not have one federal state. We have 50 states, each with their own elected governors. States’ right is the bedrock on which this country was formed. Let me share something with you: we do have a popular vote system. Whoever wins the most states, i.e. electoral votes, wins! If we had a straight-up national popular vote, guess which two states would influence nearly every election? New York and California. Why should the urban population of just two states of out of 50 determine the course of our country? Answer: it shouldn’t. Iowa is important too. And Florida. And Colorado. If we had a popular vote system, the candidates would campaign far differently. They would focus nearly all their efforts, and all of their campaign messages on… New York and California and maybe Texas. Who cares about Kansas, Kentucky, and Maine! So frankly, I don’t care who got the national popular vote. Our system of choosing presidents has worked for over two hundred years, and it’s still working. As it is supposed to. The electoral college system prevented the tyrannical will of New York and California from wholly dictating the results of the election. Thanks be to the founders of our nation for creating a system that does just that, whether the candidate is Democrat or Republican.

So bottom line people: Grow up. Move on. Donald J. Trump is now the president of the United States. Deal with it.

Oh, and one more thing: don’t get your hopes up. While I can’t predict the future, I have a solid feeling he is not going to get impeached. Sorry.

So turns out I was right about Brexit and also right about the outcome of this past election. I am now going to explain why I believe Trump is going to be remembered as one of the best Presidents we have ever had, up there with Washington and Lincoln.

He’s rich. In other words, he owes no one except the American people who voted him into office. Can’t be bribed. Can’t be corrupted. He’s simply going to make America great again. Some say his wealth keeps him out of touch with the working man. Umm, it’s the working man who voted him into office. Democrats turned Republican. He has resonated more with working class America than any politician in modern times, and truly, it’s precisely BECAUSE he is rich. No one else would have commanded the respect that he has among his voters. He’s rich, and now he’s gonna do everything he can to help all of us make more money too. Just watch. You’re gonna be blown away.

He doesn’t care about his reputation. Sure, everyone cares to some extent, but the key is that he doesn’t care what the media or establishment think of him. He was voted into office to do one thing–Make American Great Again–and he is going to do that, no matter what it takes. I truly believe he will get more accomplished than any President in modern history, and I further believe that his first 100 days will be even more productive than Newt Gingrich’s contract with America back in the day. Stay tuned folks: he’s gonna get things done. And faster than anyone could ever have thought possible.

He wants to streamline everything. Enough red tape and regulations. As many as possible are all going out the window. It’s time to get government to work… like a successful business. Lean. Nimble. Flexible. That is what the new government is going to look like.

He is politically incorrect. Too many policies happen (or don’t happen) simple because it’s the politically correct thing to do. No longer. All that crap is now going out the window. If it’s good for America, we’re doing it. If it’s not good for America, we’re not. Easy as that. And he doesn’t care who he pisses off. That sounds like a recipe for disaster, but no, rather, it’s a recipe for a new American framework that looks towards successful results (that may upset some people in the short term); not speculative policies that will do nothing to help the country (but will make some people happy in the short term). It’s Politically Incorrect with Donald Trump… and get ready thin-skinned people, cause positive change is afoot.

He is not a politician. If Trump succeeds on the scale I believe he will, he will forever change what it means to be a politician. In fact, if the ‘non-politician’ businessman ends up becoming one of our most successful presidents, it will forever tar and feather the esteemed reputation of the traditional ‘politician’ with great ‘experience. If Trump does what he says he is going to do–and watch the economy soar my friends, just watch–I truly believe that no typical politician will ever again become President of this nation. A woman, yes. An hispanic, yes. But it’s going to be a woman entrepreneur and a hispanic businessman. Or at least a politician who has an extensive business background. The truth is: a successful businessman can do two things exceedingly well: lead a big team (commander in chief of the military) and manage finances (build the American economy). Trump is going to do both like a pro.

It will take some time to determine if this–my third prediction since starting this blog–will also ring true. However, I think we are already starting to see the results as the Dow Jones Industrial Average has already soared to its greatest high… ever.

Here ye, Here ye: President-Elect Trump, I do dare declare, is similarly going to end up our greatest President… ever. Don’t believe me? Just sit back, and watch the show. The applause at the end is going to be epic.

Third: Reagan. Reagan was trailing Carter by 8 points in most polls on this day in 1980. Reagan won in a landslide. Is Trump Reagan? Not in a million years. And yet, that is also potentially (precisely?) why he may win. http://www.snopes.com/carter-reagan-polls/

Will Trump win? I don’t know. But as of right now, I still remain confident that Trump himself is going to be the October surprise that shows itself on November 8th. This is an election season unlike any other, and from day one, Trump was predicted to lose. And yet he’s still here. Still charging. And truth be told, he may very well take this ‘game show’ all the way to the winner’s circle. If so, and this time regarding his presidential opponent, we may still yet here him say one more time, “You’re fired!”
